Current Projects

In-between watching reality tv and writing, I do find time to work on other projects. My current work load consists of the following:

The Impact of Interruptions on Change Detection:

The topic of interest is how interruptions impact detecting changes within dynamic scenes. My previous work has examined if providing reliable cues can aid reported detections when an interruption occurs.

Example screenshots of a pre-post change after an interruption.

Research Assistant for Old Dominion University-Eastern Virginia Medical School: (2016-present)

My current contract is focusing on how training for residents, nurses, and doctors impacts performance. Additionally, how variability in automation impacts error detection performance on maternal fetal heart rate (MFR) systems.

Previously, I have worked on projects involving the Virtual Operating Room (VOR) and Maternal Fetal Heart Rate systems. More information on those projects can be found under Previous Projects.
